• Reflections.

    I think of my self as sentimental. By this I mean that I tend to be reflective. I think about the past; the good, the bad and the ugly. I come across objects that I associate with events and I am swept away by memories and emotions from the past. Why should you care? I don’t really know. I thought it might explain some things…

    I was going through my briefcase this afternoon, looking for a pen, when I came across a note card. It was the kind of card you would see on an arrangement from a florist. I turned it over in my hand, recognizing it before I saw the words written on the front: “Congratulations! You’re a daddy again! Love, Cheryl.” On the back of the card I had written a date – “6/11/2002.” If that were true, Beth would have a brother or sister right now. As it turns out, it didn’t work out.

    I put the card back in by briefcase, saving it for another day.

  • Life is a series of choices.

    I know this. You know this. We also know that there is a difference between knowing and doing. Case in point (you just knew there had to be one): TONIGHT.

    I like sleep, and I think sleep likes me. We get along famously, but occasionally things come between us. When this happens sleep gets angry with me. He starts to come by when he isn’t wanted. You can understand why I wouldn’t want to upset my life long friend, don’t you? I have my weaknesses though. First and foremost, there’s football: prime time, week night football games – oh the humanity! So along comes this other friend of mine: the NFL football season. I am suddenly and unexpectedly presented with the opportunity to see a game – live – at my local NFL football venue. The only catch is it’s a prime time, week night football game! I go and I will be up way past my normal bed time. Tomorrow is another work day – a day to get up early, do the commute, and earn my pay for eight hours of the day. Life is a bitch when sleep gets angry with me on a work day.

    Do I go to the game and let it come between me and my friend sleep? Alas, my answer is no.

    Damn choices!

  • Evening.

    Another Disney creation is wafting in the background (Sleeping Beauty on VHS). It is all I can do to keep my eyes open. My Achilles Heel is children’s programing. So here I sit, typing away with my eyes closed. The movie marches on wether I pay attention or not.
